Thank you
I found the company to be professional, knowledgeable and very kind to us as an older couple when managing our wills. They were a pleasure to deal with.

Awful communications and poor levels of accuracy
Don't return phone calls, make frequent mistakes, very slow and zero interest in their customers. This has gone on for 7 months now.
Please use any other firm apart from this one.

Went on for 9 months only to fall through
Terrible experience selling a shared owernship property and purchasing a house with Porter Dodson. It went on for 9 months only to fall through. My solictor did not check that my property hadn't been registered by the Land Registry until the last minute, in which time my sellers pulled out. I lost £3k in legal fees. Never again.

Very slow in responding would not use them again
Probate matter initially very good then solicitor dealing left raised informal complaint but still waiting on them. Would avoid using them in the future.

Could not be more pleased with the service!
This review is for a different branch.
I have been nothing but pleased with Porter Dodson. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and mindful of my costs constraints, they have supported me along the road with courtesy and impeccable professional manners. I would highly recommend their services, for litigation and private client affairs.

Useless
This review is for a different branch.
They were supposed to be writing a will for me. After not hearing anything for three months I contacted them. From their reply it was obvious they had done nothing. I decided to take my business elsewhere.
The partner who dealt with my complaint couldn’t even get my name right.
How rubbish can they get ? (I hope they don’t see that question as this year’s challenge.)
